Message from the BDA NI Branch President 2020

               It is an immense privilege to be the BDA Northern Ireland
               Branch president for 2020. The BDA has made
               a huge contribution to my life as a dentist over the past 30
               years and I am delighted to have this opportunity
               to give something back.
               Our profession, as with many others, has suffered from increased
               isolation in recent years. This has increased stress in what can be,
               an already difficult working environment. My hope, through our social
               and CPD activities, is to facilitate increased connection between
               colleagues and with the BDA.

               Our social events are very well supported and have given attendees
               a great opportunity to meet old friends and make new ones. Come
               along, I guarantee you will enjoy yourself!

               The emphasis of my CPD programme for 2020 has been towards
               meeting the needs of colleagues from a predominantly clinical
               perspective, but with some topical and interesting additions. I would
               like to thank all those who so readily agreed to take part and share
               their valuable time and expertise.

               We are fortunate that, due to our excellent sponsors, we are able to offer
               our programme either free or at a heavily discounted rate. I would like to
               thank all our sponsors for their continued support and Claudette Christie
               for the incredible effort she makes in this vital area.

               Finally, I would like to thank the hard-working BDA Northern Ireland
               Branch Council and BDA NI staff, particularly Laura without their
               constant help and diligence none of this programme would be possible.

Life as BDA National President – Roz McMullan                                        Message from the BDA NI Branch President 2018

                It was an honour for the BDA NI Branch to put my name
                forward for the role of National President of the British
                Dental Association. As you would expect, there are lots
                of dinners and receptions, as well as Branch and Section
                meetings. It is great getting out to meet all the hard-
                working BDA volunteers around the UK who provide
                valuable CPD as well as the very important opportunities
                for soft support, but it is also “a stone and a half job”.
                I have visited most dental schools at least once, talking to
                students about life as a dentist and explaining what the
                BDA can do for them. I have been abroad to the FDI and
                Council of European Dental Associations, and invited to
                the New Zealand, Norwegian, French and Canadian dental
                conferences. The voice of the BDA is well respected amongst
                other National Dental Associations, thanks to the hard work
                of the BDA Directors and staff.
                We have wonderful hard-working staff in our BDA NI office to
                support our branch and representative work. A big revelation to
                me has been the staff and facilities in BDA HQ. I urge you to call
                into HQ the next time you are in London. Help yourself to a free
                coffee in the foyer and inspect the exhibition, which is always
                meticulously put together by the museum and library staff and
                look around the fabulous museum.
                While the role of National President is largely ambassadorial,
                you do have some influence. I took as my theme mental
                health and well-being in dentistry. I have advanced that work
                on a national stage and I am grateful to the BDA for helping
                me do so. I am delighted that the Heath-Assured confidential
                helpline for members has been launched – and it tickles me
                pink it happened within my presidential year!
                So, thank you BDA, thank you NI Branch, thank you
                colleagues, family and friends. But most of all, thank you!
